Mandy White & Her 1996 Harley-Davidson Low Rider

Our July 2016 cover bike is a 1996 Harley-Davidson Low Rider, which is owned by Mandy White from Kansas City, Missouri. Mandy is also this month's cover model, which makes this the first time we've had the opportunity to shoot one of our cover models on their own bike! Many of you may recognize Mandy from her March 2014 and May 2010 covers, or while working various Cycle Connections events around town.
